MEAN stands for MongoDB, Express, AngularJS and Node.js. The MEAN stack is beautiful, but as Latvian developer Martins Untals points out, “there is no canonical way to do it. No predefined folder structures, no preset precompilators, no deployment scripts. Nothing except general idea and lot of opinionated approaches to it.”

A problem he means to solve in his blog post. From Mean.io to Ultimate Seed, Martins walks you through various MEAN stack options.
